1 Chronicles 24
1 And the divisions of the sons of Aaron: the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Hii ndiyo migawanyo ya wana wa Aroni: Aroni alikuwa na wana wanne: Nadabu, Abihu, Eleazari na Ithamari.
2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood.
Nadabu na Abihu walikufa kabla ya baba yao, nao hawakuwa na wana; kwa hiyo ndugu zao Eleazari na Ithamari wakahudumu kama makuhani.
3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their office in their service.
Akisaidiwa na Sadoki mwana wa Eleazari na Ahimeleki mwana wa Ithamari, Daudi aliwapanga wazao wa Aroni katika migawanyo kufuatana na wajibu wa huduma zao.
4 And there were more head-men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and [thus] were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads of fathers' houses, and eight of the sons of Ithamar according to their fathers' houses.
Idadi kubwa ya viongozi walipatikana miongoni mwa wazao wa Eleazari, kuliko miongoni mwa wazao wa Ithamari, nao waligawanywa kwa uwiano: Viongozi kumi na sita kutoka jamaa ya wazao wa Eleazari na viongozi wanane kutoka jamaa ya wazao wa Ithamari.
5 And they were divided by lot, one with another; for the princes of the sanctuary and the princes of God were of the sons of Eleazar and of the sons of Ithamar.
Waliwagawanya bila upendeleo kwa kupiga kura, kwa kuwa kulikuwa na maafisa wa mahali patakatifu na maafisa wa Mungu miongoni mwa wazao wale wa Eleazari na wale wa Ithamari.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, [one] of the Levites, inscribed them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the chief fathers of the priests and Levites: one father's house was drawn for Eleazar, and one drawn for Ithamar.
Mwandishi Shemaya mwana wa Nethaneli, Mlawi, aliorodhesha majina yao mbele ya Mfalme Daudi na maafisa: Kuhani Sadoki, Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari, na viongozi wa jamaa za makuhani na za Walawi: jamaa moja ikitoka upande wa Eleazari na nyingine upande wa Ithamari.
7 And the first lot came forth for Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah,

8 the third for Harim, the fourth for Seorim,
ya tatu Harimu, ya nne Seorimu,

15 the seventeenth for Hezir, the eighteenth for Happizez,
ya kumi na saba Heziri, ya kumi na nane Hapisesi,
16 the nineteenth for Pethahiah, the twentieth for Ezekiel,
ya kumi na tisa Pethahia, ya ishirini Yehezkeli,
17 the twenty-first for Jachin, the twenty-second for Gamul,
ya ishirini na moja Yakini, ya ishirini na mbili Gamuli,
18 the twenty-third for Delaiah, the twenty-fourth for Maaziah.
ya ishirini na tatu Delaya, ya ishirini na nne Maazia.
19 This is their ordering in their service to come into the house of Jehovah, according to their ordinance, through Aaron their father, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded him.
Huu ulikuwa ndio utaratibu wao uliokubalika wa kuhudumu walipoingia katika Hekalu la Bwana kulingana na masharti waliyoelekezwa na Aroni baba yao, kama Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, alivyokuwa amemwamuru.
20 And as for the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
Kuhusu wazao wa Lawi waliobaki: Kutoka kwa wana wa Amramu: alikuwa Shubaeli; kutoka kwa wana wa Shubaeli: alikuwa Yedeya.
21 Of Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the head was Jishijah.

23 — And the sons [of Hebron]: Jerijah [the head], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
Wana wa Hebroni: Yeria alikuwa mkuu, Amaria wa pili, Yahazieli wa tatu, na Yekameamu wa nne.
24 The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir;
Mwana wa Uzieli: alikuwa Mika; kutoka kwa wana wa Mika: alikuwa Shamiri.
25 the brother of Micah was Jishijah; of the sons of Jishijah, Zechariah.

30 And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
Nao wana wa Mushi: walikuwa Mahli, Ederi na Yeremothi. Hawa walikuwa Walawi kulingana na jamaa zao.
31 These likewise cast lots just as their brethren the sons of Aaron before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief fathers of the priests and Levites, — the chief fathers just as the youngest of their brethren.
Pia walipiga kura kama vile ndugu zao wazao wa Aroni walivyofanya, mbele ya Mfalme Daudi, Sadoki, Ahimeleki na mbele ya viongozi wa jamaa ya makuhani na ya Walawi. Jamaa za ndugu wakubwa zilitendewa sawasawa na zile za ndugu wadogo.
